I had chin liposuction. 200cc of fat was removed. Do I need a neck lift? (Photo)

Question

My chin has dents on each side now, I feel like a botched job

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

It is very hard to evaluate your result without preoperative photos to compare. Removal of 200 ml of fat from the neck is a significant amount and, I would expect, that must be some difference from preoperative condition? I would suggest waiting at least 1 year before next stage which, in my opinion, should combine liposuction with neck lift to shape your neck as much as possible. There is significant amount of deep fat underneath platysma muscle which is not accessible for liposuction and only direct excision by means of neck lift approach may address this issue. It would be best if your could loose some weight before that surgery. Good luck.

Thank you for sharing your question and photograph.  Unfortunately without knowing timing since surgery it is difficult to offer advice.  I would allow any surgical results to mature for 6-12 months and then revisit your results for a revision procedure.
